If I were asked to count all the shadows in this photo, I would say, "Impossible task!" You dazzle me with shadows, Genie!

I LOVE MY SHADOW

I love my shadow,
My shadow loves me;
We chat together
And don’t disagree!

My shadow and I
Prefer not to shout
As we go walking
And rambling about.

My shadow’s so wise,
I ask what she thinks;
She’s happy to share,
And then nods and winks.

My shadow and I
Are best buds, you see;
That’s why we try hard
To always agree!

a photo that brings back a flood of memories of spending my childhood at the Jersey Shore!
Thanks so much for sharing this one. LOVE.IT.

What a great capture! I love when a photo tells a story and this one is a wonderful story of discovery. Sweet composition.

BTW: Thanks for the superb compliment on framing my leaf photo. You made my day.
And...you are certainly free to copy and print out that photo for yourself! My gift to you. :-)

Great photograph Genie. You caught Eloise in her world nicely and the B&W rendering is outstanding.

Carver said...

What a great shot. Very touching.

Ms. Becky said...

oh, sweet Eloise! she's going to treasure this photo in the years to come. for a long time. the light, the sand, the bare feet and those curls - it's a gem. I hope you're having a fun and relaxing holiday weekend Genie.

You have captured a magical, sensitive moment! Beautiful highlight of the child in monochrome!

Woody said...

Nicely captured, a real treasure.

I though of you and Bud yesterday. I took a back road through Port Clinton, PA and was pleasantly surprised when I saw a sign for the Appalachian Trail.

Rajesh said...

She is busy in her own world. Nice one.

Francisca said...

A delightful capture of a girl engrossed in her own world. The monochrome puts the attention right on her own attentions.

Take care of your knee and keep in good spirits, Genie. Hopefully any small run of bad luck has now run its course.

Leovi said...

Very good. Nice photo with a wonderful B & W.

Hi Genie, thanks for your passionate comments on my blog, Clarence Valley Today.
I want to support the comments you made about remembering WW1.
I take a school group of 17/18 yr olds every two years to the Western Front on a pilgrimage. We visit many cemeteries including German ones.
We always visit Meuse-Argonne, the American cemetery outside Verdun.
It is the largest American War Cemetery on foreign soil, over 10,000 burials, but has never been visited by a President, they prefer to visit WW2 cemeteries in Normandy.
Maybe this will change with the coming centenery.
America played a vital role in the ending of WW1 and many lives were lost. It should not be forgotten.

Dragonstar said...

She's concentrating so hard, lost in her own world. Beautiful!

What an adorable post! The patterns in the sand are spectacular in black and white and the little girl (your granddaughter?) is precious, so intent on the sandcrab. Makes me happy just to look.
